Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that although the methods for producing alumina ceramics having colors such as red or blue, which are capable of being used as alumina decorative materials having high light translucency and excellent decorative properties, are provided, the color variations of these ceramics are poor, thereby the applications of these ceramics as decorative materials are limited in a narrow range. SOLUTION: A highly translucent alumina polycrystal body exhibiting brilliant green color and having very high translucency is obtained by adding the minimum amount of nickel oxide being a coloring agent, a rate earth element being a coloring agent, which is also effective as a sintering aid, then subjecting the resulting mixture to debinder treatment comprising calcining at 600 to 1,000 deg.C under the atmosphere for 1 hour, preliminarily firing the resulting material in an alumina sagger under a reduced pressure, further subjecting the fired material to HIP treatment in such a manner that the fired material is embedded in an alumina powder in the alumina sagger and finally firing it under the atmosphere. The translucent ceramic polycrystal body contains, by weight, 98.5 to 99.8% alumina, 0.1 to 0.5% nickel oxide, and 0.1 to 1.0% of at least one of neodymium oxide, praseodymium oxide and europium oxide.

Further, by adding at least one of neodymium oxide, praseodymium oxide and europium oxide, it has both a function as a sintering aid (grain growth inhibitor) and a function as a blue-based coloring agent. The translucency can be improved and the bluish color can be deepened. However, if the amount of neodymium oxide or praseodymium oxide or europium oxide is less than 0.1% by weight, there is no effect on both color development and translucency. Since the amount of garnets different from each other increases, the scattering based on the different phases increases, and the light transmittance decreases.

[0015] The method for producing a translucent polycrystalline alumina according to the present invention is characterized in that a raw material having the above composition is added to a dispersant of an ammonium polycarboxylate, an acrylic binder, a PEG-based defoamer, and ion-exchanged water. Alternatively, a slurry is prepared by mixing distilled water with a rotary ball mill. After defoaming this slurry with a stirring vacuum defoaming machine, it was cast and molded, and calcined (at 600 to 1100 ° C. for 1 hour) in an air atmosphere to perform a degreasing treatment. It is placed in the above alumina sagger 1 and preliminarily fired in a vacuum furnace at 1600 ° C. or higher with a degree of vacuum of 10 Pa or lower. The alumina sagger 1 is configured by covering the upper and lower openings of an annular ring 3 with a lid 2, and has a fired product 5 disposed therein and fired.

When the degreasing treatment is not performed, the ash remains in the calcination under reduced pressure and the density does not increase, so that the light transmittance is reduced. In addition, when pre-firing in an air atmosphere instead of firing in a vacuum furnace, large pores inside the sintered body cannot be removed, so that when oxidizing and firing at the end, cracks easily occur due to residual stress of large voids reduced by HIP.

Further, if sintering is not performed in an alumina sagger, the volume of the reduced-pressure atmosphere becomes large, so that the evaporation of the pigment is activated. In addition, since the furnace material inside the vacuum furnace is entirely carbon, the sintered body is not baked. Is reduced to increase the number of oxygen vacancies, and as a result, there arises a problem that the color development becomes pale and dark. Further, when the purity of the alumina sagger is less than 99%, impurities in the alumina sagger evaporate, contaminate the sintered body, and lower the light transmittance. Further, by using an alumina sagger, contamination due to evaporation of other pigments can be remarkably suppressed, so that there is an effect that various colored translucent aluminas can be fired in a single vacuum furnace firing.

When the HIP treatment is performed at a temperature lower than 500 ° C., voids in the sintered body cannot be eliminated and light scattering due to defects does not decrease, so that the light transmittance cannot be increased.

This can lead to cracking of the porcelain and a decrease in light transmission.
